This will allow classes to implement the AA interface without deriving
from the class or referencing an internal enum of some other class as
their return types.
Also, to a pretty fundamental extent, concepts such as 'NoAlias',
'MayAlias', and 'MustAlias' are first class concepts in LLVM and we
aren't saving anything by scoping them heavily.
My mild preference would have been to use a scoped enum, but that
feature is essentially completely broken AFAICT. I'm extremely
disappointed. For example, we cannot through any reasonable[1] means
construct an enum class (or analog) which has scoped names but converts
to a boolean in order to test for the possibility of aliasing.
[1]: Richard Smith came up with a "solution", but it requires class
templates, and lots of boilerplate setting up the enumeration multiple
times. Something like Boost.PP could potentially bundle this up, but
even that would be quite painful and it doesn't seem realistically worth
it. The enum class solution would probably work without the need for
a bool conversion.

that it is its own entity in the form of MemoryLocation, and update all
the callers.
This is an entirely mechanical change. References to "Location" within
AA subclases become "MemoryLocation", and elsewhere
"AliasAnalysis::Location" becomes "MemoryLocation". Hope that helps
out-of-tree folks update.

port it to the new pass manager.
All this does is extract the inner "location" class used by AA into its
own full fledged type. This seems *much* cleaner as MemoryDependence and
soon MemorySSA also use this heavily, and it doesn't make much sense
being inside the AA infrastructure.
This will also make it much easier to break apart the AA infrastructure
into something that stands on its own rather than using the analysis
group design.
There are a few places where this makes APIs not make sense -- they were
taking an AliasAnalysis pointer just to build locations. I'll try to
clean those up in follow-up commits.

Now that Intrinsic::ID is a typed enum, we can forward declare it and so return it from this method.
This updates all users which were either using an unsigned to store it, or had a now unnecessary cast.

We already had a method to iterate over all the incoming values of a PHI. This just changes all eligible code to use it.
Ineligible code included anything which cared about the index, or was also trying to get the i'th incoming BB.

CallSite roughly behaves as a common base CallInst and InvokeInst. Bring
the behavior closer to that model by making upcasts explicit. Downcasts
remain implicit and work as before.
Following dyn_cast as a mental model checking whether a Value *V isa
CallSite now looks like this:
if (auto CS = CallSite(V)) // think dyn_cast
instead of:
if (CallSite CS = V)
This is an extra token but I think it is slightly clearer. Making the
ctor explicit has the advantage of not accidentally creating nullptr
CallSites, e.g. when you pass a Value * to a function taking a CallSite
argument.

The problem here is the infamous one direction known safe. I was
hesitant to turn it off before b/c of the potential for regressions
without an actual bug from users hitting the problem. This is that bug ;
).
The main performance impact of having known safe in both directions is
that often times it is very difficult to find two releases without a use
in-between them since we are so conservative with determining potential
uses. The one direction known safe gets around that problem by taking
advantage of many situations where we have two retains in a row,
allowing us to avoid that problem. That being said, the one direction
known safe is unsafe. Consider the following situation:
retain(x)
retain(x)
call(x)
call(x)
release(x)
Then we know the following about the reference count of x:
// rc(x) == N (for some N).
retain(x)
// rc(x) == N+1
retain(x)
// rc(x) == N+2
call A(x)
call B(x)
// rc(x) >= 1 (since we can not release a deallocated pointer).
release(x)
// rc(x) >= 0
That is all the information that we can know statically. That means that
we know that A(x), B(x) together can release (x) at most N+1 times. Lets
say that we remove the inner retain, release pair.
// rc(x) == N (for some N).
retain(x)
// rc(x) == N+1
call A(x)
call B(x)
// rc(x) >= 1
release(x)
// rc(x) >= 0
We knew before that A(x), B(x) could release x up to N+1 times meaning
that rc(x) may be zero at the release(x). That is not safe. On the other
hand, consider the following situation where we have a must use of
release(x) that x must be kept alive for after the release(x)**. Then we
know that:
// rc(x) == N (for some N).
retain(x)
// rc(x) == N+1
retain(x)
// rc(x) == N+2
call A(x)
call B(x)
// rc(x) >= 2 (since we know that we are going to release x and that that release can not be the last use of x).
release(x)
// rc(x) >= 1 (since we can not deallocate the pointer since we have a must use after x).
…
// rc(x) >= 1
use(x)
Thus we know that statically the calls to A(x), B(x) can together only
release rc(x) N times. Thus if we remove the inner retain, release pair:
// rc(x) == N (for some N).
retain(x)
// rc(x) == N+1
call A(x)
call B(x)
// rc(x) >= 1
…
// rc(x) >= 1
use(x)
We are still safe unless in the final … there are unbalanced retains,
releases which would have caused the program to blow up anyways even
before optimization occurred. The simplest form of must use is an
additional release that has not been paired up with any retain (if we
had paired the release with a retain and removed it we would not have
the additional use). This fits nicely into the ARC framework since
basically what you do is say that given any nested releases regardless
of what is in between, the inner release is known safe. This enables us to get
back the lost performance.

Summary:
Now that the DataLayout is a mandatory part of the module, let's start
cleaning the codebase. This patch is a first attempt at doing that.
This patch is not exactly NFC as for instance some places were passing
a nullptr instead of the DataLayout, possibly just because there was a
default value on the DataLayout argument to many functions in the API.
Even though it is not purely NFC, there is no change in the
validation.
I turned as many pointer to DataLayout to references, this helped
figuring out all the places where a nullptr could come up.
I had initially a local version of this patch broken into over 30
independant, commits but some later commit were cleaning the API and
touching part of the code modified in the previous commits, so it
seemed cleaner without the intermediate state.

These refactored computations check whether or not we are at a stage
of the sequence where we can perform a match. This patch moves the
computation out of the main dataflow and into
{BottomUp,TopDown}PtrState.
llvm-svn: 231439
This initialization occurs when we see a new retain or release. Before
we performed the actual initialization inline in the dataflow. That is
just messy.
llvm-svn: 231438
This will enable the main ObjCARCOpts dataflow to work with higher
level concepts such as "can this ptr state be modified by this ref
count" and not need to understand the nitty gritty details of how that
is determined. This makes the dataflow cleaner.
llvm-svn: 231437
Summary:
DataLayout keeps the string used for its creation.
As a side effect it is no longer needed in the Module.
This is "almost" NFC, the string is no longer
canonicalized, you can't rely on two "equals" DataLayout
having the same string returned by getStringRepresentation().
Get rid of DataLayoutPass: the DataLayout is in the Module
The DataLayout is "per-module", let's enforce this by not
duplicating it more than necessary.
One more step toward non-optionality of the DataLayout in the
module.
Make DataLayout Non-Optional in the Module
Module->getDataLayout() will never returns nullptr anymore.

This is much better than the previous manner of just using
short-curcuiting booleans from:
1. A "naive" efficiency perspective: we do not have to rely on the
compiler to change the short circuiting boolean operations into a
switch.
2. An understanding perspective by making the implicit behavior of
negative predicates explicit.
3. A maintainability perspective through the covered switch flag making
it easy to know where to update code when adding new ARCInstKinds.
llvm-svn: 229906
The RCIdentity root ("Reference Count Identity Root") of a value V is a
dominating value U for which retaining or releasing U is equivalent to
retaining or releasing V. In other words, ARC operations on V are
equivalent to ARC operations on U.
This is a useful property to ascertain since we can use this in the ARC
optimizer to make it easier to match up ARC operations by always mapping
ARC operations to RCIdentityRoots instead of pointers themselves. Then
we perform pairing of retains, releases which are applied to the same
RCIdentityRoot.
In general, the two ways that we see RCIdentical values in ObjC are via:
1. PointerCasts
2. Forwarding Calls that return their argument verbatim.
As such in ObjC, two RCIdentical pointers must always point to the same
memory location.
Previously this concept was implicit in the code and various methods
that dealt with this concept were given functional names that did not
conform to any name in the "ARC" model. This often times resulted in
code that was hard for the non-ARC acquanted to understand resulting in
unhappiness and confusion.

Split `Metadata` away from the `Value` class hierarchy, as part of
PR21532. Assembly and bitcode changes are in the wings, but this is the
bulk of the change for the IR C++ API.
I have a follow-up patch prepared for `clang`. If this breaks other
sub-projects, I apologize in advance :(. Help me compile it on Darwin
I'll try to fix it. FWIW, the errors should be easy to fix, so it may
be simpler to just fix it yourself.
This breaks the build for all metadata-related code that's out-of-tree.
Rest assured the transition is mechanical and the compiler should catch
almost all of the problems.
Here's a quick guide for updating your code:
- `Metadata` is the root of a class hierarchy with three main classes:
`MDNode`, `MDString`, and `ValueAsMetadata`. It is distinct from
the `Value` class hierarchy. It is typeless -- i.e., instances do
*not* have a `Type`.
- `MDNode`'s operands are all `Metadata *` (instead of `Value *`).
- `TrackingVH<MDNode>` and `WeakVH` referring to metadata can be
replaced with `TrackingMDNodeRef` and `TrackingMDRef`, respectively.
If you're referring solely to resolved `MDNode`s -- post graph
construction -- just use `MDNode*`.
- `MDNode` (and the rest of `Metadata`) have only limited support for
`replaceAllUsesWith()`.
As long as an `MDNode` is pointing at a forward declaration -- the
result of `MDNode::getTemporary()` -- it maintains a side map of its
uses and can RAUW itself. Once the forward declarations are fully
resolved RAUW support is dropped on the ground. This means that
uniquing collisions on changing operands cause nodes to become
"distinct". (This already happened fairly commonly, whenever an
operand went to null.)
If you're constructing complex (non self-reference) `MDNode` cycles,
you need to call `MDNode::resolveCycles()` on each node (or on a
top-level node that somehow references all of the nodes). Also,
don't do that. Metadata cycles (and the RAUW machinery needed to
construct them) are expensive.
- An `MDNode` can only refer to a `Constant` through a bridge called
`ConstantAsMetadata` (one of the subclasses of `ValueAsMetadata`).
As a side effect, accessing an operand of an `MDNode` that is known
to be, e.g., `ConstantInt`, takes three steps: first, cast from
`Metadata` to `ConstantAsMetadata`; second, extract the `Constant`;
third, cast down to `ConstantInt`.
The eventual goal is to introduce `MDInt`/`MDFloat`/etc. and have
metadata schema owners transition away from using `Constant`s when
the type isn't important (and they don't care about referring to
`GlobalValue`s).
In the meantime, I've added transitional API to the `mdconst`
namespace that matches semantics with the old code, in order to
avoid adding the error-prone three-step equivalent to every call
site. If your old code was:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
you can trivially match its semantics with:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(mdconst::hasa <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(mdconst::extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(mdconst::extract_or_null <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(mdconst::dyn_extract <ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(mdconst::dyn_extract_or_null<ConstantInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
and when you transition your metadata schema to `MDInt`:
MDNode *N = foo();
bar(isa <MDInt>(N->getOperand(0)));
baz(cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(1)));
bak(cast_or_null <MDInt>(N->getOperand(2)));
bat(dyn_cast <MDInt>(N->getOperand(3)));
bay(dyn_cast_or_null<MDInt>(N->getOperand(4)));
- A `CallInst` -- specifically, intrinsic instructions -- can refer to
metadata through a bridge called `MetadataAsValue`. This is a
subclass of `Value` where `getType()->isMetadataTy()`.
`MetadataAsValue` is the *only* class that can legally refer to a
`LocalAsMetadata`, which is a bridged form of non-`Constant` values
like `Argument` and `Instruction`. It can also refer to any other
`Metadata` subclass.
(I'll break all your testcases in a follow-up commit, when I propagate
this change to assembly.)

This is to be consistent with StringSet and ultimately with the standard
library's associative container insert function.
This lead to updating SmallSet::insert to return pair<iterator, bool>,
and then to update SmallPtrSet::insert to return pair<iterator, bool>,
and then to update all the existing users of those functions...

This adds back r222061, but now calls initializePAEvalPass from the correct
library to avoid link problems.
Original message:
Don't make assumptions about the name of private global variables.
Private variables are can be renamed, so it is not reliable to make
decisions on the name.
The name is also dropped by the assembler before getting to the
linker, so using the name causes a disconnect between how llvm makes a
decision (var name) and how the linker makes a decision (section it is
in).
This patch changes one case where we were looking at the variable name to use
the section instead.
